Harry Nilsson · 1968 Spin it Again - Van Dyke Parks produced it, it cost a fortune, sold nothing, and sounds like nothing else from 1968 or anywhere else.

Father John Misty · 2017 Spin it Again - Seventy-four minutes, a seventy-four-piece orchestra, and one guy who really needed you to sit still for a while.

Sufjan Stevens · 2015 Spin it Again - Made at home, in the dark, about a mother he barely knew — and it sounds exactly like that.

Father John Misty · 2015 Spin it Again - Josh Tillman made a record so committed to sincerity that he had to bury it under three layers of irony just to get it out the door.

Marianne Faithfull · 1979 Spin it Again - The voice that fell apart in the sixties came back a decade later as something far more dangerous.

Ella Fitzgerald · 1956 Spin it Again - The record that convinced the world a pop singer could be a serious artist — and then quietly made that argument unnecessary.

Patricia Barber · 1994 Spin it Again - Recorded in a mob bar on Monday nights by a pianist who never left Chicago and never needed to.

Joanna Newsom · 2006 Spin it Again - Five songs, forty minutes, Van Dyke Parks arranging strings like he had something to prove, and Newsom singing like time wasn't a real concern.

Rickie Lee Jones · 1982 Spin it Again - She sounds like the last woman left in a bar at 2 a.m. who actually has somewhere to be, and the band behind her knows it.
